School kids with people with dementia

For day number five of Dementia Action Week we have a great story of young people supporting people affected by dementia.

Ruth Corn tells us the full story:

'We've set up a MemoriesTime group & linked it with the local primary school & preschool. The Primary school choir sang to the MemoriesTime group & the school are now working towards raising awareness of dementia. Our MemoriesTime group & the school children painted rocks with the dementia flower on & we're going to place them in our community for people to find. 

'The delight on the faces of both groups when they get together is brilliant!!

'Being a Dementia Friend 'spurred' me on to take action in our community.'
